A Pale Ghost , Copy Protected
I have been a follower of Jackson Browne's music for 30 years, and have never been so disappointed in his work. Self-conscious, hectoring tripe. None of the vitality of Lawyer's in Love nor the Depth of image and feeling of the Everyman period. As someone who plays all of my music from digital libraries, the copy prote...

My favorite singer becomes irrelevant
I have every Jackson Browne album and I have seen him twicein concert. I liked almost everything he wrote and sang,even the self-absorbed, depressing stuff.Well I gave this CD a good try. Listened twice on a longcar trip hoping even one song would touch me somehow. Butdespite keeping an open mind and heart, there was n...

Disappointment
I have been listening to Jacksons music for more than 17 years now. I have got each of his 13 albums. I love his music and I admire him for his ability to write unique lyrics and melodys.What made Jackson so special to me was the combination of his wonderful melodys and his extraordinary lyrics, something I didnt know ...

Questionable
You can pick and choose what you like from this book. Some of the advice ranges from "look good to attract a man" (as opposed to "look good because it makes YOU feel good")to practical budgetary advice. I found myself shocked at some of the 1950's style advice, but enlightened by some of the stories told. The advice se...

Latte for one and loving it.
This title is deceptive. It's not "Latte for one and loving it" - it's more like "Latte for one while you find a man". The first four chapters deal with dating. The tone of the book is that you're not complete with a man, that getting married is the ultimate goal, and that this book will help until you achieve that goa...

One of my top 5 books of all time!
This is a great book for any one who has spent time in a "dungeon" of any kind. RT Kendall works through the life of Joseph from being hated and betrayed by his brothers to being exalted to the palaces of Egypt. There are tremendous life lessons to be learned from this book. Highly recommended!!

Disappointing sound
Very disappointed of the sound. When I buy a pricey Blu-Ray disc from Opus Arte I expect exceptional sound quality. That is not the case with this disc.

This didn't do anything
I'm not very familiar with cuticle removers, but I was expecting it to remove the excess cuticle at the base of my nail. It did nothing of the sort. At best it softened it, so that I could use my cuticle cutter, but I could've just soaked it in water and achieved the same results.

Poor Guitar Playing
The guitar playing on this album is very amateur. Lots of string noise as the left hand shifts. An immense amount of extraneous noise from the fingernails on the right hand.

Priest Live is a good release and includes most of the bands best songs from the 80's.
